Caring From the Inside Out (CFIO) Foundations of Self & Collective Care

While burnout was a growing crisis in healthcare even before the pandemic, the pandemic has exponentially increased the sources of stress and distress for healthcare professionals. In this context, self and collective care are necessary for health professionals to be able to do the work they love while feeling resourced day-to-day and in the long term. Our goal is to serve those who serve us – to provide safe

spaces for healthcare and public health professionals to learn, connect, and intentionally practice and integrate self and collective care into their lives and organizations.

ABOUT COMPASSION INSTITUTE

The Compassion Institute (CI) is a global advocate for compassion education, programs, and research. Our work was initiated at Stanford University School of Medicine Neurosciences Institute in 2009 to support human health, well-being, and interpersonal relationships within organizations and communities. Programs are developed by thought leaders and industry experts in compassion science and education,contemplative science, psychology, and social sciences. Research has shown CI’s flagship 8-week program

– Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) – can lead to:

Increased

• Happiness
• Calmness
• Acceptance of emotions
• Self-acceptance
• Job satisfaction
• Self-caring behavior
• Compassion for self and others
• Openness to receiving compassion from others

Decreased

• Worry
• Anxiety
• Anger
• Mind wandering
• Emotional suppression
• Reports of chronic pain severity

Since 2017, CI has directed its efforts to support critical sectors serving the public, with a high priority on healthcare, public health, and medical education. The Health Program aims to support the health sector community to ultimately co-create cultures and systems of care. Our facilitators are experts in program content, but also importantly, the health sector and / or caring professions.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

MODULE 1: Stress, Burnout, Regulating the Nervous System- 6/1/22

MODULE 2: Emotion Regulation and Meaning- 6/8/22

Module two broadens participants’ awareness of their daily experience of stress and well-being, and connects with their deeply held values as a compass. Emotions are explored – how they manifest and how to regulate them throughout the day.

MODULE 3: Self-Care- 6/15/22

This module inquires into the role of systems and culture in shaping how we work and rest, as well as the topic of self-care. Skills in time management and boundary setting are explored, as well as the practice of self-compassion.

MODULE 4: Collective Care- 6/22/22

Module four examines the role of “love” and “power” in the workplace, and the difference between empathy and compassion – an important distinction when protecting oneself from overwhelm in caregiving professions.

The final session will focus on integrating the learnings and practices from previous weeks, to support participants to sustain the benefits of the course moving forward.

*Last year, in recognition of the tremendous financial stress members were facing and to ensure that important and timely information could be accessed with no barriers, CPCA elected to waive training fees for the entire membership year (April 1,2020- March 31, 2021) and offer all training at no cost. As we continue to work in this pandemic environment to provide members the support they need, we must also plan for the future while supporting community health centers in improving the health status of their communities through advocacy, education, and services. Which is why the Board of Directors approved a budget in February that reflects a reinstatement of training fees effective for trainings taking place on or after April 1, 2021. If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please email us at training@cpca.org.
